Cigarette smoking is now becoming a big issue throughout the world and especially in the Philippines. Because of this, the researchers finds it interesting to make a research paper about it. The researchers wants to know the cause and effect of cigarette smoking amongst her fellow student in Agoo Montessori Learning Center and High School Inc. The researchers think that everyone knows the side effects that the cigarette is giving to its user but the hardest thing to understand is that why do smokers still smoke regardless of its bad effects. Scientist and medical researchers says that the smoke from a cigarette contains more than 4000 chemicals, which could have various toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic effects. The content and concentration of chemical ingredients can vary widely from one brand or type of cigarette to the next. Some of these chemicals are Methanol, Nicotine, Tar, and Vinyl Chloride. Just imagine this chemicals goes inside a human body, it will surely destroy the body slowly until that person dies. Because the number of smokers in the Philippines is tremendously increasing, the government have already make a move regarding this issue. They have passed a law called the sin tax bill and they think that it may be the solution in their problem.

...people currently smoke cigarettes, setting aside all the nonsense they hear about how many chemicals are in them. None of the much flaunted appeals of cigarette advertisers, such as superior taste and mildness, induces us to become smokers or to choose one brand in preference to another. Despite the emphasis put on such qualities by advertisers, they are only minor considerations. Smoking is as much a psychological pleasure as it is a physiological satisfaction. It really isn't the taste that counts. It's that sense of satisfaction one gets from a cigarette that they cannot get from anything else.
What is the nature of this psychological pleasure? It can be traced to the universal desire for self-expression. None of us ever completely outgrows his childhood. We are constantly hunting for the carefree enjoyment we knew as children. As we grew older, we had to subordinate our pleasures to work and to the necessity for unceasing effort. Smoking, for many of us, then, became a substitute for our early habit of following the whims of the moment; it becomes a legitimate excuse for interrupting work and snatching a moment of pleasure. You sometimes get tired of working, and if you sit back for the length of a cigarette, you feel refreshed afterwards. It's a peculiar thing, but I wouldn't think of just sitting back without a cigarette. I guess a cigarette somehow gives...

The effects of cigarettesmoking can be horrifying. Smoking is dangerous not only to those who smoke, but to non-smokers and unborn children as well. Cigarettesmoking is also physically and socially harming.
The large particles in cigarette smoke, commonly known as "tar", collect in the branching points of the lungs. The tar contains carcinogenic compounds that increase the risk of lung cancer. The small particles in cigarette smoke, including carcinogens, irritants, and corrosive chemicals, collect in the small air sacs in the lungs and damage them. These air sacs are where the blood absorbs oxygen from the air. When the small particles from the cigarette smoke are absorbed into the blood stream and transported to other parts of the body, they include a variety of diseases.
The smoke from a burning cigarette is a mixture of hot gasses and different sized particles that fills the air with over 4000 chemicals, including 43 carcinogens and over 400 other toxins (Glantz & Daynard, 1991). One of the gasses emitted by cigarette is carbon monoxide, a colorless and orderless poison. By attaching to hemoglobin, the carbon monoxide lessens the blood's ability to carry oxygen.
There are many effects of cigarettesmoking on the actual smoker. They include...

...Abstract
Cigarettesmoking is the greatest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the United States. Secondhand smoke causes numerous lung cancer deaths annually. Measures have been taken in both workplaces and public places to limit exposure to secondhand smoke. The economic cost of smokers to society is phenomenal. It includes monetary costs, lost workdays and shortened work lives. Many states are establishing and maintaining comprehensive tobacco-control programs to reduce tobacco use. They provide education to our youth to prevent them from ever starting and smoking cessation programs for individuals that currently wish to stop smoking. Education and support are known ways to eventually prevent smoking in the future.
Efforts to increase the public perception of the harmful effects of tobacco must utilize a comprehensive approach that affects policy development, education strategies and health care systems. Smoking is becoming more and more unfashionable as time goes on. There are many studies conducted showing that secondhand smoke is a health hazard to both the smoker and anyone that relies on the same air supply, not to mention the unpleasantness and discomfort it causes those that do not smoke. The Environmental Protection Agency reports that it is estimated that secondhand smoke that emerges from exhaling and burning cigarettes...

No Cigarettes, No Smoking
The harm of smoking is a hot issue which has being discussed in many countries for a long time. There are 1.2 billion of smokers in this world, which is one-fifth of the world population. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that adult male smokers lost an average of 13.2 years of life and female smokers lost 14.5 years of life because of smoking. Even though people know that cigarette is bad for health, they still have freedom of smoking. Nowadays, both producing and smokingcigarettes are still free choices especially in America because as Americans we first protect our freedoms and the government gives us rights to choose our own ways of life include the free market economy for producing cigarettes and the freedom of smoking. But cigarettes have nothing good for health. It not only kills the smokers themselves but also harms the non-smokers by breathing second-hand smokers, which should be considered as murder. So governments should make law to stop producing cigarettes completely.
Smokingcigarettes may increase the risk of many health problems. According to the 1982 United States Surgeon General's report, "Cigarettesmoking is the major single cause of cancer...
